Not so unusual if you look at from another perspective.
During much of the cold war, the US (military, think tanks, news, etc.) focused on probable or perceived threats, and many documents or reports were published alluding to actions we might have to prepare for.

North Korea's government doesn't give a rat's tush about "protecting their people." In fact, what the people of NK need protection from IS their corrupt and truly despicable government.
